Katana Naginata: The Curved Blade of Female Warriors in Feudal Japan

The naginata is a single-edged, curved blade mounted on a long pole, widely used by female warriors and foot soldiers during feudal Japan. Originating in the Heian period and evolving through the Kamakura period, the naginata was intricately designed to balance reach and agility. Women aged 30 to 60 mastered this weapon, applying specialized martial arts techniques that emphasized sweeping strikes and defensive maneuvers. The naginata’s unique form made it ideal for both battlefield and ceremonial use, symbolizing strength and elegance in Japan’s warrior culture.
